User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8a5) Gecko/20041101 Camino/0.8+ Build Identifier: For a given thunderbird session, over time, less and less of the folder and summary windows are clickable. For example, if my folder view has: ranger@befunk.com Inbox Drafts Sent Trash ... ...when I start thunderbird up, I can click on Inbox, it will select it, and the message view will show what's in the Inbox. If I click on the first message in the Inbox, I get details in the detail view. After thunderbird has been running for an hour or two, if I click on the Inbox, nothing happens. If I click on the top message in whatever folder happens to be selected, nothing happens. The longer thunderbird is running, the lower this "area of inactivity" gets, although it never seems to extend lower than maybe the first 4 or 5 folders in my folder view. This also affects the pulldown for "View: All" above the message view, although it does not affect the search input (I'm still able to search for messages). It is also possible to interact with things in the "no click zone". Like, if I were to select the Trash folder and then hit the up-arrow key until I get to Inbox, I'm able to use my keyboard to navigate around and interact with messages in the "no click zone" too. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. start thunderbird 2. wait a few hours 3. try to click the inbox Actual Results: see Details Expected Results: allow clicking

this still happens with the thunderbird 1.1 alpha (and has happened reproducibly since initially opening this bug report for every snapshot build I've used...)
Version: unspecified → Trunk
this still happens with the latest snapshots I'll attach some screenshots as I scroll the folder pane that show what's going on....
(whups, cut-and-pasted the wrong description for #2) as you can see from the images, the rest of the scroll window updates, but the upper-left part of the app doesn't update (it's not clickable, and it doesn't draw new stuff)
View, Messages has untitled raidio button collection bunched up. Jan 27th 1.8 x86 686

I've not seen this since using thunderbird 2.x
